Yemeni retaliatory attacks kill six Saudi forces

Six Saudi forces have been killed as Yemeni forces target the kingdom’s military positions in retaliatory attacks against Riyadh’s military aggression against the impoverished Arab country.

The Yemeni forces on Monday targeted a military post in kingdom’s Najran, killing four Saudi snipers.

Two other Saudi forces were killed in Yemeni army's shelling of military positions in the kingdom’s province of Assir. 

The retaliatory attacks came after at least six civilians were killed in a mortar attack by Saudi mercenaries in Ta’izz.

Yemeni sources said Monday that three women and three children were killed after pro-Saudi militants launched mortar attacks on residential areas in the city of Ta’izz southwest of the country.

The Saudi attacks are the latest in a series of intensified bombardments in Yemen which have marred the prospect of a political solution to the conflict.
